ASLA announces 2021 Class of Fellows

The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA)– the nation’s largest professional association of landscape architects– has elected 35 of its members to become ASLA Fellows. The election, according to CEO Torey Carter-Conneen, is based on members’ “exceptional contributions to the landscape architecture profession and society at large.”

Election to the ASLA Council of Fellows is among the highest honors the ASLA bestows on members and is based on their works, leadership/management, knowledge, and service.

ASLA Fellows will be elevated to the Council during a special investiture ceremony at November’s 2021 Conference on Landscape Architecture in Nashville, Tennesee, USA.
